Methane in the atmosphere is an example of which type of gas?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: हरितगृह गैस — Greenhouse gas
The governing concept is the greenhouse effect. Methane is a trace atmospheric gas that absorbs outgoing infrared radiation and contributes to warming, so it is classified as a greenhouse gas. Option A is correct. It is not one of the main permanent gases such as nitrogen or oxygen, and it is a gas rather than a condensation nucleus or a solid dust particle. Its small concentration does not remove its climatic importance.
